    Answer it

    Can any one give me the idea. How I can detect collision between 2 dom element. I have got this code form MDN. But can't go thorough it. Please help me. var rect1 = {x: 5, y: 5, width: 50, height: 50} var rect2 = {x: 20, y: 10, width: 10, height: 10} if (rect1.x < rect2.x + rect2.width && rect1.x + rect1.width > rect2.x && rect1.y < rect2.y + rect2.height && rect1.height + rect1.y > rect2.y) { // collision detected! } // filling in the values => if (5 < 30 && 55 > 20 && 5 < 20 && 55 > 10) { // collision detected! }

  • Hi, I have build a simplified example for you. I build a collide functionality by using jquery drag effect. Please go through below code.

                    } else {        
                        $(this).css('background-color', 'blue'); 
                    }

Yellow background means collision, blue means no collision.</p> </div> </body> </html>
